import a does not automatically import modules and sub packages of package a. It takes special action in a's __init__.py to make this happen as it does for os.path when you import os.
I assume that you're doing this directly in python, since in the manage.py shell other stuff has already caused django.core to be imported, so it's available. (And Frank was probably using the manage.py shell, thus finding that he didn't have to separately import django.core .)
